What to expect in a work exchange in India?

In a work exchange in India, expect exotic smells, colors, and customs that might scare at first, but it’s easy to fall in love with the home of Taj Mahal. India is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world, famous for the number of religions that share a large but populous space. More than 1.3 billion people live in the largest nation in South Asia. Work and travel in India to find out more about this amazing country!
